sota-Davis (Rep.i; Maine-Hale (Rep u;
Illinois-Farwell (Rap.) In each of these
States the Legislative joint session will
be held tomorrow to confirm the sep
arate action. Pennsylvania elected
Mathew S. Quay. This action is final,
as joint session is not held where a
candidate has majority in both houses.
At Albany, y. V, after going through
the order of introduction of bills the
House proceeded to ballot for Senator
with the following result: Miller 81,
Morton 26, Hiscock 10, Weed Dem Al.

journed. The vote stood: Senate--Dawes

VAN wYCK'S FIGHT.
The Nebraska Legislature, voting sep
arately, took one ballot, in which Van
Wick received total in both houses of
"A votes, out of 1913 cast. The next
highest vote was 32 for Norton (Dem).
The Republican vote was scattered pretty
evenly among eleven candidates outside
of Van Wyck. The Republicans will
probably caucus toni ght and concen-
trate their strength on one man. The
first joint ballot will take place at noon
tomorrow. The indications for dead
lock are verv favorable, and it is COZ
ceded that Van Wyck in tO-day's ballot
received four votes of Democrats. The
only question Is now whether he can or
cannot secure enough Democrats to Sc
cure his election.
THE INDIANA QUARREL.
INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 1S.-In response
to the call of Chief Justice Elliott,
the Judges of the Supreme Court came
to the city to-day to hear the arguments
on the appeal brought by Lieutenant
Governor Robertson in the injunction
proceedings in the Circuit Court. The
TRANSCRIPT, however. was not ready and
the argument was delayed. The papers
were not filed until late hour this af
ternoon. and there Is no probability that
a decision can be reached before the
time appointed for holding the joint
convention at noon tomorrow. At pres
ent there is no reason to change the pre-
vious statement that two conventions
will be held. The Democratic cOnven-
tion, of course, will be presided over by
the President of the Senate, and is an
nounced to be held in the hail occupied
by that body to-day
The Republican Convention will be in
the House, but it is uncertain whether
Col. Robertson will preside. In case he
should preside, he would probably b
cited to answer for contempt of Judge
Ayres' court. Neither Robertson nor his
friends Will state what he intends doing.
liz the conventions are held. each party
will develop a majority of the General
Assembly by refusing to recognize the
action of their opponents in unseating
members. Two Senators will be elected
and the entire question transferred to
the courts for final settlement. The
two houses of legislature voted separately
to-day for United States Senator In the
Senate TurpIe (Dem J received AZ and
Harrison (Rep.) lS. In the house Harri-
received 53, Turpie AZ, Allen 4. OF the
four votes cast for Allen, three, those of
Messrs. Gates, Glover and Mackey were
by Republicans.
